Growing and active

Chamber president speaks

to Jasper Woman's Club

By Melody Lee
Manager
Joy Howell, Hamilton County
Chamber of Commerce president,
told the Jasper Woman's Club on
April 11 that she is proud of the
growth of the Chamber and its ac-
tivities. Its membership has grown
from about 60 to more than 100 in
two years.
When Howell returned to Jasper
after finishing college, she wanted to
be an active member of the commu-
.nity. And active she is. She has
served as the secretary-treasurer of
the Chamber and was elected presi-
dent in 2007. She has been secretary
of the Kiwanis for three years and

serves as the chairman and loan ex-
ecutor of the local United Way and
the project executor for Relay For
Life.
"I want to be a part of the commu-
nity," Howell said. "I want to make
people happy."
The Chamber held its first Annual
Chili Cook-off last year and raised
enough money to repair the Cham-
ber sign in Jasper City Park. The
Jasper Sesquicentennial Celebration
in March was a big success too, ac-
cording to Howell.
"It was a lot of hard work," she
said, "but it was worth it to bring the

Local attorney to be delegate

at Democratic convention

Rhett Bullard is ready for Denver

T By Jeff Waters
| A local attorney has
been selected as a del-
i egate to the Democrat-
Rhet Bullard ic National Conven-
tion.
Rhett Bullard of
Jasper, who practices law in Live
Oak, will be heading to Denver in
August to help his party select a
nominee to face Sen. John McCain in
November.
"This will let our region be in-

volved with the whole process,"
Bullard said of his selection as a dele-
gate.
Bullard is pledged to Hillary Clin-
ton.
"Both candidates are extremely
competent and great, but Hillary was
my choice," he said. Bullard said he
believes Clinton, who trails Barack
Obama for the Democratic nomina-
tion, should stay in the race despite

food to those most in
need. It is the largest
one-day effort to com-
bat hunger in the Unit-
ed States with millions
of families participating
and thousands of letter
carriers, postal employ-
ees and volunteers col-
lecting the donations.
Locally, United Way
of Suwannee Valley co-
ordinates the effort with
the local post offices
and agencies that re-
ceive the contributed
food. The food received
in Hamilton County is
distributed to the Food
Bank of Suwannee Val-
ley, which in turn
makes the food avail-
able to agencies and
churches to assist those
in need.
"Although non-per-

ishable food items such
as canned soup, juice,
pasta, vegetables, cereal
and rice are always wel-
come, there is a need for
canned food products
containing protein,"
said James Simpson,
postmaster of the Jasper
Post Office. "These
would include canned
tuna or salmon as well
as canned stews. Please
do not include any glass
or perishable items."
Most people make
food donations around
the holidays and tend to
donate less in the sum-
mer time. Donations
may be left in bags or
boxes in or next to your
mailboxes on Saturday,
May 10, and your carri-
er will pick them up.
You may also take your
donations to your local
post office.

calls from some for her
to quit. He added there's
a limit to how long she
should stay in, however.
"If the numbers were
way off and she loses
like the next three states
in a row, then she
should consider (drop-
ping out)," Bullard said.
With McCain having
long since clinched the
Republican nomination,
Bullard thinks the De-
mocrats have an advan-
tage.
"Since they (Republi-
cans) have their nomina-

tion, the Democrats are
getting all the media
coverage and it gives
the rest of the states an
opportunity to have a
say," he said.
Florida has 211 Demo-
cratic delegates. Howev-
er, because the state
held its primary earlier
than national party rules
allowed, these delegates
have not been included
in the total count.
Under a compromise,
half the delegates may
be counted, but the mat-
ter may not be settled
for some time.

Town Happenings

By Robert Townsend
There is no one more
special than your mom,
even if you think you're
all grown up. Don't for-
get this Sunday is Moth-
er's Day.
White Springs has a
florists shop, Brewing
Creations, located in the
Delegal House on US 41
with the Sub Shop. Stop
in and check out the
beautiful arrangements
created by Diane Mc-
Neal. I have been buying
some of her fresh
arrangements lately;
they're beautiful and af-
fordable. So when
you're thinking of what
to get mom visit Brew-
ing Creations and sur-
prise her with one of
Mrs. McNeal's wonder-
ful arrangements.
The next Town Couri-
cil Meeting will be on
May 13, at 7 p.m., at the
Community Center on
US 41. The agenda will
include a proposal by
USDA Rural Develop-
ment titled "Community
Visioning Day." This
program would bring
key representatives such
as US Senators, State
Senators and Represen-
tatives, and local elected
officials together for a
tour of White Springs to
highlight successes and
needs of the town. After
the tour the group
would meet and evalu-
ate the needs of the town
and what programs Rur-
al Development and
Legislators could offer.
Richard Powell of the

accounting firm Powell

HISTORY REPEATS
ITSELF. Last week
something.. .happened
that had some small. re-
semblance to an event
that occurred in White
Springs in 1835. It was
then that Bryant
Sheffield bought 1,000
acres of land in the area
that was to become
White Springs. The land
included the spring and
Mr. Sheffield soon began
to market its healing
powers. He built a dou-
ble log hotel on the east
bank of the spring where
the Nature and Heritage
Tourism Center now
stands. This was the be-
ginning of White
Springs' tourism, which
has gone on ever since
then.
Mr. Sheffield knew
that the land in this area
was good for farming
too. He probably had
knowledge of the Native
Americans' success in
growing crops in our
area. Many of us today
don't realize what good
farmers they were. They
grew corn, peas, beans,
melons, potatoes, straw-
berries, sunflowers and

many other crops long
before the first settlers
came to this area.
. What does this have to
do with last week? Well,
we had our first White
Springs Farmer's Market
take place right on the
spot where Mr. Sheffield
built our town's first ho-
tel. Merri and I went and
even though it is starting
small, we found many
interesting things there
and bought some won-
derful plants and some
delicious boiled
peanuts. It was quite a
social event too, as we
saw several friends and
neighbors there.
The Farmer's Market
will take place every
Tuesday from 2 p.m. un-
til 6 p.m. Be sure to stop
by. To participate as a
vendor, contact Asa or
Lucinda Maynard at
397-1284.
A great big thank you
goes out to the White
Springs Special Events
Committee, especially
Asa and Lucinda May-
nard, who were the dri-
ving force behind this
idea and were willing to
do much of the work to
make it happen. It took a

great deal of cooperation
between our town hall
staff and the Nature and
Heritage Tourism Cen-
ter folks to get this ven-
ture underway. If you
see any of these folks out
and about, please take
time to say "thank you".
If you would like to be
involved, call Town Hall
at 397-2310.
The Woman's Day Af-
ternoon Tea and Fashion
Show is this Saturday
and it is rumored will in-
clude Little Miss Azalea
and our own Yvonne
Bryant. It should be a
wonderful event.
LITERARY TREA-
SURES. Here is another
great find in our search
for good literature from
White Springs authors.
SOUTHERN COM-
FORTS: Rooted in a
Florida Place by White
Springs area author,
Sudye Cauthen. Last
March the book won the
Bronze in Nonfiction
from the Florida Book
Awards, a highly presti-
gious annual awards
program that recog-
nizes, honors, and cele-
brates the best Florida
literature published in

the previous year.
This book grew out of
Cauthen's single-hand-
ed scouring-out of local
lore in her home town
territory of Alachua
County. To me this book
is as much about our
North Florida area as it
is about Alachua and
you will find many tales
that are reminiscent of
our Hamilton County
heritage too. She has a
way with words that
portrays the North Flori-
da places and people she

writes about with an elo-
quence that they so rich-
ly deserve. The book is
available at the Thelma
Boltin Gift Shop in the .
'Stephen Foster Park or
you can visit her web-
site, www.sudyecau-
then.com.
Don't forget that our
town council meetings
will now be taking place
in our newly refur-
bished White Springs
community center, just
north of the library on
US 41. The place looks

SOCIAL SECURITY NEWS

Help your mom

save $3,600!

By Ann
Magwood- Ward
We all know the high
cost of medicine can be a
burden on mothers who
have limited income and
resources. But there is
extra help, available
through Social Security,
that could pay part of
her monthly premiums,
annual deductibles and
prescription co-pay-
ments. The extra help
could be worth up to
$3,600 per year.
To determine if your
mother is eligible, Social
Security needs to know
her income and the val-
ue of her savings, invest-
ments and real estate
(other than the home she
lives in). To qualify for
the extra help, she must
be receiving Medicare
and also have:
Income limited to
$15,600 for an individual
or $21,000 for a married
couple living together.
Even if her annual in-
come is higher, she still
may be able to get some
help with monthly pre-
miums, annual de-
ductibles and prescrip-
tion co-payments. Some
examples where income
may be higher include if
she or her spouse sup-
port other family mem-
bers who live with them;
have earnings from
work; or live in Alaska
or Hawaii; and re-
sources limited to
$11,990 for an individual

or $23,970 for a married
couple living, together.
Resources include such
things as bank accounts,
stocks and bonds. We do
not count her house and
car as resources.
Social Security has an
easy-to-use online appli-
,cation that you can help
complete for your mom.
You can find it at
www.socialsecurity.gov
STo apply by phone or
have an application
mailed to you, call Social
Security at 1-800-772-
1213 (TTY 1-800-325-
0778) and ask for the
Application for Help
with Medicare Prescrip-
tion Drug Plan Costs
(SSA-1020) or go to the
nearest Social Security
office.
To learn more about
the Medicare prescrip-
tion drug plans and spe-
cial enrollment periods,
visit www.medicare.go
or call 1-800-
MEDICARE (1-800-633-
4227; TTY 1-877-486-
2048).
So this Mother's Day,
help your mom save up
to $3,600 a year on her
prescription drugs.
Long after the candy
and flowers are gone,
the extra help through
Social Security will keep
on giving.

Buy flood insurance now

Submitted
With hurricane season
.only weeks away, the
Florida Association of
Insurance and Financial
Advisors (FAIFA) is en-
couraging homeowners,
renters and businesses
to look into purchasing
flood insurance. Many
policyholders assume
that their policy will
cover flood losses, but
that is not true. A sepa-
rate policy must be pur-
chased through the Na-
tional tFlood Insurance
Program (NFIP), but it
can be provided by local
insurance agents and is
affordable.
Because there is a 30-
day waiting period,
Floridians cannot wait
until hurricanes are re-
ported to purchase this
coverage. Almost all ar-
eas are susceptible to
flooding in varying de-
grees. Up to 25% of
flood claims occur in ar-
eas considered to be at
low to moderate risk of

flooding,, according to
the Federal, Emergency
Management Agency.
Floridians not only
have to worry about
flood damage caused by
hurricanes; the heavy
rains that can be very
prevalent in coming
months have the ability
to flood properties and
cause substantial losses.
Again, these losses
would not be covered by
standard property in-
surance policies.
According to recent
'data Florida has about
one million flood insur-
ance policies, which rep-
resents about one-fifth
of the total number of
policies in the NFIP.
For more information
regarding flood insur-
ance coverage contact
your insurance agent.
Information can also be
found by calling the
NFIP at 800-638-6620 or
log onto www.floods-
mart.gov.

Happy birthday to one of

Jasper's oldest matriarchs

"I am kicking, but not
high!" "I'm the same ole
woman!" These are
warm and endearing
sentiments that are of-
ten uttered by Essie
Mae Holden who was
bdrn on May 10, 1918,
to James and Mary Lee
Holden at 710 Fifth
Ave. (formerly Holden
Street) in Old Town.
Two aunts (Leola who
lives in Hollywoocd and
Arizona who is de-
ceased) were among
other family members
who lived in Old Town.
To the family were
added her sister (Lone-
ly who is deceased))
and her brothers (Willie
who lives in Pensacola
and Johnnie who lives
in Jacksonville). The fol-
lowing were like broth-
ers to her: Ray (Toe),

Eddie Lee (Campbell),
and George.
Essie raised her ten
children (Charles, Ad-
die Flo-
rence,
Alton, ,.,
Willie,
Jimmy, i
Velora,
Alonza,
Mary,
Joyce 1
a n d
Phyllis)
and her
nieces
(Bessie
who
lives in
Jasper Essie Mae Holden
a n d
Lois who is deceased) at
the same address where
she presently resides.
Furthermore, Essie
Mae is the last of many

Spralding and others.
Essie attributes her
longevity to her belief
and obedience to her
Lord and Savior,
healthy eating, and
crossing her legs and
chewing Juicy Fruit
gum while watching
television.
As a God-fearing and
respectful mother, Essie
reared her children
with a very firm and
caring kind of love. On
behalf of her ten chil-
dren, thirty-three
grandchildren, fifty-
nine great-grandchil-
dren, and a few great-
great grandchildren, a
splendid and happy
ninetieth birthday is ex-
tended to our loving
Essie Mama!

Counselor's Corner

By Paula G. Williams
Approximately 140
sixth graders from the
county visited Hamilton
County High School on
Thursday, May 1, for
seventh grade orienta-
tion. The group came in
and adapted right away
to the middle grades as-
sembly formation. We
could not have asked for
a better group of young
people and we look for-
ward to having them
join the HCHS Middle
School Family in Au-
gust.
After they were wel-
comed by Mr. Starr,
Ellen Deas in the Guid-
ance Department shared
information regarding
the registration process
and elective courses.
Carol Trouille, cafeteria
manager, talked about
our lunch program arid
the various lines that

will be available for stu-
dents. Tracy Cox shared
how to access help and
what is available
through the health clinic
on campus.
Dia Green introduced
herself as the wicked
witch of TOZ and cau-
tioned students to be
aware of and stay. away
from the TOZ area.
Hopefully this will be
their one and only meet-
ing.
Thomas Jackson
brought an official mes-
sage from the seventh
grade team followed by
dean of students, Phyllis.
Harris. Mrs. Harris
briefed the group on im-
portant points in the stu-
dent handbook, pro-
grams and extra curricu-
lar activities. Sergeant
Anthony Williams
shared his role as re-
source officer and

friend.
"Choose your friends
carefully and take care
of yourself first," Sgt.
Williams said.
Billy Steltenpohl, band
director, appealed to the
students to take part in
the band program and
shared information re-
garding the mini-band
camp to be held this
summer. The sixth
graders were treated to a
musical selection by the
band and this seemed to
spark some interest.
Wallace 6elph extend-
ed an invitation for the
girls to become a part of
his soccer team and
some did express inter-
est.
Before beginning the
tour of the school with
some well-prepared tour
guides, I urged the up-
coming seventh graders
to accept the challenge:

A+ means doing your
best each and every day
in a positive way. With
this in mind every stu-
dent starts out at Hamil-
ton High with an A+.
Report to Hamilton
High with an A+ high
expectation, an A+ will-
ingness to work towards
being a top student, and
A+ work ethic and an
A+ seventh grade stu-
dent.
Students received a
packet of information
and they should return
the registration and
band forms to their
school guidance coun-
selor.
Progress reports were
sent home on Thursday,
May 1.
Seventh graders will
travel to the Science Mu-
seum in Gainesville on
May 9. Make sure your
child has returned

his/her permission
form.
Good luck to our stu-
dents in the Miss HCHS
pageant on Saturday,
May 10, at 6 p.m. in the
auditorium.
I know I will see some
of our seniors at the Vi-
vian J. Scott Scholarship
Reception on May 10, at
4:30 p.m. to be held at
the JRE Lee Administra-
tive Complex.
The band and chorus
concert will be held on
Tuesday, May 13, at 7
p.m.

cited about the writing
scores arriving.

Scholarship Banquet
will be held on May 16,
at 7 p.m. at the JRE Lee
Administrative Com-
plex. Our guest speaker

is FAMU's new head
football coach. Please

Patriotism love and

By making small and seemingly insignificant
changes in daily routines people can not
on y reduce the size of their carbon
footprint, but also realize significant savings
in their energy costs.

Whether you are making a cup of
coffee, driving to the grocery store,
mowing the yard, taking a shower or even
opening the refrigerator door, you are
leaving a trail that tells a lot about your
life.
Just about all activities that use energy
to almost any degree are creating
individual carbon footprints.
A carbon footprint is a measure of the
amount of carbon dioxide and other
greenhouse gases that are released into
the atmosphere as people go about their
routine daily activities.
By making small and seemingly
insignificant changes in daily routines
people can not only reduce the size of
their carbon footprint, but also realize
significant savings in their energy costs.
There are a number of web sites that
have calculators that enable people to
determine how much energy they
consume and suggestions on how to
reduce the size of their carbon footprint.
Some suggestions involve significant
lifestyle changes ranging from trading in
an SUV for a hybrid or riding a bicycle to
work. Others are more practical and
simple such'as turning the home
thermostat down a degree or two.
Easy to follow tips that most people
can follow without too much effort
include:
Air conditioning and heating: By
simply turning the air conditioning up a
couple of degrees in the summer and the

heating systems down in the winter, a
consumer can save several hundred
dollars.
.Clothes dryer, oven and dishwasher:
Wait until the sun goes down in the
summer months to run these appliances
so they don't put more strain on the air
conditioner. In the winter months, run
them when the house is the coolest.
Shower: Install a low flow
showerhead and take shorter showers to
reduce the amount of water used. Taking
a shower instead of a bath saves
considerable amounts of water.
Refrigerator: Place the refrigerator in
a cool place and always let hot food cool
off before placing it inside. For greater
efficiency keep coils clean and defrost it
on a regular basis if necessary.
Electronic devices: Unplug those that
aren't being used such as cell phone
chargers, hair dryers, coffee pots,
computers, etc. as they use electricity just
by being plugged in.
Water heater: Reducing the
temperature of a Water heater from 140
degrees F to 120 degrees F not only saves
money but may prevent scalding. insulate
the hot water heater to save even more.
Consumers cii access the Energy
Wizard at www.EnergyWizard.info to

conservation and new technologies to
generators and tax incentives; ask energy
related questions; or read the latest

People are always needed
to hold,'pet, love and walk

ways.
RECYCLING BINS:
Live Oak: There is a
newspaper recycling bin at
305 Pinewood Drive, Live
Oak, just west of John-
son's Appliance/Radio
Shack.
Lee: Recycling bins are
located at the shelter at
1156 SE Bisbee Loop,
Madison (just South of
Lee) for newspapers, cata-
logs, paper, magazines and
broken down cardboard.
All the money goes to help
the homeless animals.
SSPAYING AND
NEUTERING:
Experts say the most im-
portant thing people can
do to help their pets is to
get them spayed or
neutered. This means the
animals get an operation,
to be sure they can't have
kittens or puppies. They
are asleep during the oper-
ation, so they aren't scared
or in pain.
SSpaying and neutering
are so important because
there are so many animals
needing care and not
enough homes or shelters
for them.
One cat or dog can have
many litters in its life. Its
kittens or puppies can
have many litters, too.
This can end up creating
thousands of new cats and
dogs.
Featured animals for
adoption:
Remember, do not leave
pets in vehicles for any

length of time due to the
heat and humidity or cold
weather.

More than 70 countries across the globe now have some form of freedom
of information.legislation. Such laws vary by country, but typically
provide public access to government information or records. In the United
States, the Freedom of Information Act became law in 1966 under then-
President Lyndon Johnson. The Act was then updated with the Electronic
Freedom of Information Act amendments under President Bill Clinton in
1996. While the act only applied to federal agencies, all of the states and
territories have statutes requiring the disclosure of information by state and
local governments. The United Kingdom enacted their own Freedom of
Information Act in 2000, while Canada's Access to Information Act in
1983 allowed citizens access to government-controlled information. The
trailblazer for freedom of information legislation is believed to be Sweden,
who enacted their Freedom of the Press Act in 1766, though the act at that
time was far more limited that the more open acts of today, including
since-updated laws in Sweden. 436148-F

When the topic of improving air quality comes up, much of
the discussion focuses on how to improve outdoor air quality.
Solutions such as reducing harmful emissions from vehicles
and properly disposing of certain household items are easy
ways to improve outdoor air quality.
But what about improving air quality indoors? Ways of doing
that are not discussed nearly as much, as it's common to
overlook indoor air quality. But poor air quality indoors can be
just as harmful as outside air or even more so considering
the amount of time spent indoors making it a good policy to
keep tabs on indoor air quality via the following tips.
Dust frequently. Dusting is an easy chore when it's done
frequently. However, the longer dust is allowed to build up, the
more arduous removing it can become and the more damaging
it is to the quality of indoor air. When dusting, do so with
microfiber towels and dusters. Such products attract dust, which
will cling to the fibers instead of simply dropping dust to the
ground. The object is to remove the dust entirely, not simply
move it around to let it fall to the ground where it's not as
visible.
Adjust the stove. Stoves can be adjusted to decrease their
amount of gas emissions. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) refers to this way of improving indoor air
quality as source control, in which the source of indoor air
pollution is either removed or emissions are reduced to improve
air quality. The EPA notes that source control, such as sealing
or removing any sources that might contain asbestos, is perhaps
the most cost-efficient approach, as other means such as
increasing ventilation will no doubt lead to higher utility costs.
Clean the blinds. Blinds are common gathering places for
dust, which tends to gather on the outside-facing part of the
blind, making it seem as though the blinds are clean when they
are not. Clean blinds weekly using the same microfiber dusters
used to remove dust from the rest of the house.
Bathe and brush pets regularly. Pets contribute mightily to
poor indoor air quality, particularly pets that stay outdoors
while their owners are away. Pets' coats are often loaded with
dirt and dander (skin flakes in animal fur or hair). When
animals shed, much of that dirt and dander is then scattered
around the house. To avoid this, brush pets' hair before they re-
enter the home from outdoors, and be sure to bathe them

Frequently brushing and bathing indoor pets that spend ample time
outside is one way to improve indoor air quality.

regularly. Also, wash their bedding frequently.
Wash your own bedding, too. The family pet isn't the only one who might
have a bed that's contributing to poor indoor air quality. If a human's bed
linens aren't washed frequently (preferably in hot water) dust mites can begin
living in the linens. Feather pillows and bedding also attract dust mites, so
those might be something to avoid.
Don't overwater houseplants. Houseplants represent an interesting part of
the indoor air quality discussion. Some suggestions have hinted that
houseplants can reduce levels of some chemicals in the air. However, no
evidence to fully support that notion currently exists. What is known is that
overwatering houseplants can promote the growth of microorganisms in the
air, which can affect those with allergies. To avoid this, simply water plants as
directed and make sure they're not overwatered.
Vacuum regularly. All sorts of dust and other things such as pet hair and
dander can collect in a carpet if it's not vacuumed regularly. Anyone with a
home that has heavy traffic, both people and pets, should vacuum every other
day, if not every day. An upholstery brush should be used on all furniture as
well. Even if a home has wood floors, use a vacuum that is designed for such
floors, as dirt and other items can collect on hardwood floors as well.

/ hen we follow the son, we will
never, ever be lost. It does not matter
V how good you are, or what you do,
or how much you give to charity or
even if you go to church everyday, what really
matters is who you are following. If you are not
following Jesus, you are lost. Jesus, the son of God
left the splendor of heaven and died on the old
rugged cross just for you, so that you would not have
to be lost. John 3:16 says "For God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten son, that
whoever believes in him will not perish but have
everlasting life." God gave his only son to die on the
cross so that none of his children would to be lost.
When you follow Jesus, God's son, he will guide you
in the path that leads to eternal life with him.
Many times people go out hiking and they follow
the sun to find their way. You may have looked to the
sun in the sky to decide which way is north or south
yourself! There are many people that have gotten lost
in the woods, a forest, or out on the sea and they have
followed the sun to find their way home. The sun
rises in the east and sets in the west everyday, always.
Each morning we can count on the sun rising and
bringing a new day, and each evening we know that
the same sun will set, and bring another night. The
sun rising and setting is something that happens
everywhere, no matter where you are.
Whether the weather is good, or whether things are
going great, or not so great in your life, even if you
don't know what you are going to do about
something. If everything in your life seems to
change, you can count on the sun to rise and set
everyday. That may sound amazing when you think
about it, but just think there is another son, that we
can depend on with even more assurance than
knowing the sun will rise and set, that is Jesus, the
son of God, the savior of the world. When you are
outside you can follow the sun and know which way
is north, south, east or west, when you follow the
SON you will know which path to follow. You will
be following the one who is the way, the truth and the
life! John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except
through me." The only way to find salvation is
through Jesus, he is the way, the truth and the life.
When we follow his path we will never be lost, and
we will always have his truth and eternal life.
Remember how we talked about being able to find
what direction we are going by following the sun in
the sky? To follow Jesus, the son of God is the way to
always go in the right direction, and reach the most
important destination of all, heaven. When you find
Jesus as your savior, you should be spending time
with him, reading his word, the Bible, praying, which
is simply talking to him and worshipping him. It is
really good if you learn to not only do these things in
Church, but if you learn to take time to get alone with
Jesus and spend one on one time with him. The more
you get to know Jesus, the happier you will be, and
you will be able to stand against the attacks of the
enemy. In the Bible it says in John 14:6 "And when
he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them,
and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice."
As you follow Jesus, you will know his voice and be
able to walk in his footsteps. Following Jesus brings
the greatest joy and peace, love greater than all other,
rewards beyond all we can ever imagine. When we
learn to follow Jesus, he will direct our steps. We see
this in the Bible in Proverbs 3:6 "In all thy ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
I am reminded of a child that wants to be like their
daddy, so they put on his big shoes and try to walk
around in them. Obviously, the shoes are way too big
and their little feet cannot fill the shoes. There is
something very important to learn from that child
though, what they are doing is showing that they
want to be like their daddy, they want to follow in his
footsteps. We should take a lesson from the little
child, walk in our father's shoes, strive to be like the
heavenly father. The one who gave his son, Jesus to
die for our sins. There is a wonderful song called "I
Have Decided to Follow Jesus." Read the words and

maybe even sing them, pay close attention to what
they say, they are powerful, important, life changing
words.
I Have Decided to Follow Jesus
AnonymousVerse 1: "I have decided to follow
Jesus, I have decided to follow Jesus. I have decided
to follow Jesus; no turning back, no turning
back."Verse 2: Though none go with me, still I will
follow, though none go with me, still I will follow.

turning back, no turning back. Verse 3: The world

before me; no turning back, no turning back."
Think about the words here, deciding to follow
Jesus, whether any of your friends, family or anyone
you know will follow him, you will follow him and
not turn back. The cross is before you and you leave
the world behind you, because you have truly decided
to follow Jesus and not turn back. Follow him just as
someone would follow the sun in the sky to find the
way home, he will never lead you in the wrong path,
he is the way, the truth and the life. You can always
trust in Jesus, he loves you and will always be all that
you ever need. You can count on Jesus, God's SON!
Follow the Son!

Have any of you kids ever gotten
lost? I bet you were scared and wanted
to find your mom or dad. Maybe you
have not been lost, maybe your puppy
or kitten was lost, I am sure that you
could not wait till it was found! Being
lost is not fun. When we follow the
son, Jesus we will never be lost! It
does not matter if you are perfect,
or what clubs you are in, or what
sports you play, or
student
or
popular, it.
doesn't even
matter if you
go to church
all the time,
what really matters is if you
are following Jesus, the son
of God. The Bible tells us
that Jesus died on the old
rugged cross for you, so that
you will never have to be
lost. In the Bible we read in
John 3:16 "For God so loved
the world that he gave his only
begotten son that whoever
believes in him will not perish
(die) but have everlasting life."
Have you ever tried to figure
out which way is north, south,
east or west by looking at the
sun? Sometimes people go hiking
and watch the direction of the sun
to find their way. The sun always
rises in the east and sets in the west.
Every morning we can count on the
sun to rise, and every night it will set,
always. No matter where you are in 4
the world, or what the weather is, or
what you are doing, the sun will rise and
set everyday. That is something that you
can always depend on. There is another
son, the son of God, you can put all
your trust in him, you can depend on
him, he is the savior of the whole world.
When you are outside you can follow
the sun and know which way is north,
south, east or west, when you follow the
SON you will know which path to
follow. You will be following the one
who is the way, the truth and the life!
John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the
way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the Father except through me."
When we follow his path we will never
be lost. Take time to really know Jesus,
read his Bible, talk to him and worship
him. He loves it when his children
spend time with him and he will always
be there with you as you follow him.
Sometimes kids want to be like their
daddy, so they put on his big shoes and
try to walk around in them. Maybe you
did this sometime! Of course the shoes
are way too big! Most kids want to be
like their daddy, they want to follow in
his footsteps. Adults should take a
lesson from you kids and walk in our
heavenly father's shoes! God, the father,
the one who gave his son, Jesus to die
for our sins. There is a wonderful song
called "I Have Decided to Follow
Jesus." Read the words and maybe even
sing them, it is a great song to live by!

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus
AnonymousVerse 1: "I have decided
to follow Jesus, I have decided to follow

Though none go with me, still I will

me, the cross before me. The
world behind me, the cross

I hope that
you have truly
decided to follow
Jesus and not turn
back. You can always
trust in Jesus, he
loves you and will
always be all that
you ever need. You
can count on Jesus,
God's SON! Follow
